Nicki Minaj shared some new joints on a revamped version of her mixtape, Beam Me Up Scotty.
Barbz got the surprise of their lives this Friday (May 14) when Minaj rereleased her 2009 project on streaming services for the first time.
The rapper made the drop extra special by including several new tracks, including âSeeing Green,â which reunites Minaj with fellow Young Money alum Drake and Lil Wayne; the bossy standalone joint, âFractionsâ; and a remix of Skillibengâs 2020 dancehall record, âCrocodile Teeth.â
Taking the mic from Tunechi on the nostalgic âSeeing Green,â Minaj brings back her Young Money cypher flow, boasting: âNo one bâh could be my opt, that shit offends me / It's corporate giants and machines that went against me / I wash bâhes, man, they couldn't even rinse me / She said she hot, I said, âWell, bâh, come and convince me.ââ
Minaj continues to talk big on âFractions,â laughing off past rap beefs as free promo for her haters while flexing her uncontested wordplay on a boss beat.
âIt's them weak bars thinkin' that she dissin' for me / I graded your homework, bâh, it's incomplete / If you was tryna be my son, then mission complete / I'm the final level bâh they on a mission to beat,â Minaj spits.
Beam Me Up Scottyâs 2021 release also features some original fan-favorite tracks like âItty Bitty Piggy,â âSlumber Party,â âKill da DJ,â and âGotta Go Hard.â The rerelease is the first collection of material Minaj has released since dropping 2018âs Queen.
